“With Regrets is a tense and claustrophobic look at what happens when an already uncomfortable dinner party is interrupted by a world-changing catastrophe.

—Jennifer Thorne, author of Lute and Diavola

“Pulse-pounding and wildly original, With Regrets exposes the dark underbelly of suburbia and the true cost of keeping up appearances.

Lee Kelly has created a thrilling, nuanced, highly entertaining story that readers will find impossible to put down.”
